    Man, everybody's picking on me. Just call me Dumbo.

    How am I supposed to keep up with that thread when I just woke up?

    Chad Ford (via B-Edge) said the Nets are praying they move into the top-3 -- want Davis, MKG, or Beal.

    After there was no chance they would finish in the bottom 3, I thought it odd that they continued tanking, until I realized they were still increasing their chances in the lottery, which they got up to 25%.

    So they're still keeping hope alive.

    No reason to pray. They have the NBA on their side

    I think Marshall will go top-10 and looking at the prospects that should be there at #11 I'm not too excited.

    I'd offer the #11 to HOU for the rights to Donatas Motiejunas -- he has had a Joel Freeland-esque rapid development this year. Measuring nearly 7'2" w/shoes, he's an intriguing prospect. Went #20 last year but with his development he would be a lock for a lotto pick had he pulled out of last years draft.

    His 1st-grade teacher wouldn't let him pick his nose and he took it too seriously.

    Re: 2012 NBA Draft Prospects

    So we want to trade our only draft pick this year, 11th (if we are lucky) in a deep draft for a project Euro big man that went 20th last year in a weak draft?

    I wouldn't hate that draft. Perry has potential, not amazed by him, but I think he is one of those high risk/high reward kind of guys.

    Ford knows less about basketball than The HCP knows in bed, according to Mrs HCP anyway.

    That would be awful! Rashad McCants and Eric Montross.

    I agree, although Barnes at 11ish would be ok

    He was slept on, he's a much better prospect than where he was picked. With his development this year he would go top-10 if you can re-do that draft. Chad Ford and DX both labeled him as the most skilled offensive big in the draft. His footwork in the post is Cody Zeller-esque.
